Stephen Hawking Loses A Bet

[Randy Parrish CPF]

Framed for posterity, a thumb signed check letter by Stephen Hawking, paying his debit to Professor Gordon Kane. Also a article by Gordon wife Lois Kane, from the Ann Arbor Observer. The article tells what is is like to win a bet from Stephen Hawking. Long time residents of Ann Arbor Mi, the Kane's wanted to frame the items in a locally made frame, by Urban Ashes.

Oh yea forgot to mention, I have a cousin on my wife's side of the family that is a physicist and part of the team of scientist at the Cern Super Collider working on this project, see we are all connected because of the "God particle"!

Here is another, slightly better view, until I download from my camera. The customer wanted black, so we compromised with inner mat that is a kind of dark grey purple.

Nice work Randy.
I see you have a Morso standing. Does it work well? How often do you have to have the blades sharpened?
What is this bottle of Ultra Lite for? Is it a glass-cleaner?
What type of pneumatic v-nailer is standing in the background?

I see you have a Morso standing. Does it work well? It's good for somethings, not so good for cheap black moulding. How often do you have to have the blades sharpened? I have 3 sets of blades in rotation, on average I use one set a month, once they start to dull, it is more trouble to cut the cheap black mouldings.
What is this bottle of Ultra Lite for? Is it a glass-cleaner? It's a incredible glass and plexi cleaner.
What type of pneumatic v-nailer is standing in the background? That is a old Cassese underpinner, The background is disheveled, literally had just finished matting 290 pieces of prison art, all sizes imaginable.

Great work Randy. I don't know about you but I love getting those types of jobs that tell a great story as well as preserving history. Thanks for sharing.
